About the episode
Matt is joined by labor lawyer, journalist, and author Jonathan Handel to break down how the WGA reached a tentative deal with the AMPTP earlier than expected and what was won—including significant health care increases and AI protections—as well as the surprise that there was an agreement to a four-year deal instead of one for three years. They discuss whether this deal is ultimately a win for the WGA and whether this will lead to labor peace across other guilds (2:30). Matt finishes the show with a prediction about late-night talk shows (28:57).
